Swing open, window,Let me see Maria!I'm standing here, in the middle of a street,I wish I saw her.

I have no minute of peace.I stay up at nightTo be here around all the time,Hoping to talk to her.

Oh, Maria, oh, Maria,How much sleep I lost because of you!Let me fall asleepJust a little in your arms!Oh, Maria, oh, Maria,How much sleep I lost because of you!Let me fall asleep,Oh, Maria, oh, Maria!

In your gardenThe hollyhock is smelling.A bed of petal rosesI have made for you.

Oh, Maria, oh, Maria,How much sleep I lost because of you!Let me fall asleepJust a little in your arms!Oh, Maria, oh, Maria,How much sleep I lost because of you!Let me fall asleep,Oh, Maria, oh, Maria!

It seems already are openingThe shutters of her window.Maria waves to meWith her little hand.

Oh, Maria, oh, Maria,How much sleep I lost because of you!Let me fall asleepJust a little in your arms!Oh, Maria, oh, Maria,How much sleep I lost because of you!Let me fall asleep,Oh, Maria, oh, Maria!
